Shimmering Tablet Concepts

The Luis Fonseca iPad 4 Has a Slide-Out Keyboard and Superb Speakers

— May 29, 2012 — Tech
Designer Luis Pedro Fonseca is boldly going where no designer has gone before with his iPad 4 concept. Fonseca's iPad 4 is an unofficial concept, but it does have some awesome features that would look great in the next edition of Apple's iPad.

The most notable thing about this iPad 4 concept is its slide-out keyboard. Many have complained about the lack of a keyboard on both the iPad and the iPhone, so this addition is a no-brainer. Another awesome new element is the concept's Bang & Olufsen speakers, designed to make headphone-less sound quality superb.

An HD 1080 12 megapixel camera ensures that your every facial blemish will be viewable on Facetime, and an aluminum frame ensures that the iPad 4 is easily recyclable. Apple will most likely pass on the slide-out keyboard, but the aluminum frame, epic speakers and powerful camera are something they might look into. Is it too early to begin iPad 4 fever?
Trend Themes
1. Slide-out Keyboard on Tablets - The addition of a slide-out keyboard to tablets, like the Luis Fonseca iPad 4 concept, can improve functionality and convenience for users.
2. Enhanced Sound Quality on Mobile Devices - Incorporating high-quality speakers, like the Bang & Olufsen speakers on the Luis Fonseca iPad 4 concept, in mobile devices can enhance the overall user experience.
3. High-resolution Cameras on Tablets - Tablets equipped with high-resolution cameras, like the HD 1080 12 megapixel camera on the Luis Fonseca iPad 4 concept, can offer better video and photo options for users.
Industry Implications
1. Tablet Manufacturing - Manufacturers of tablets can explore the addition of slide-out keyboards, high-quality speakers, and high-resolution cameras to improve their products and stand out in the market.
2. Mobile Accessories - Companies that make mobile accessories can design and sell add-on slide-out keyboards, better speakers, and high-resolution cameras for tablets, extending the devices' capabilities.
3. Audio Technology - Audio technology firms can develop high-quality, durable speakers geared towards mobile devices to provide users with exceptional sound quality.
